MODULE FAILURE using Replace and with_together

[John Galts]

Hello, I'm getting a module failure when trying to use 'replace' and with_together.

Is there something wrong with my script? thank you.

Tasks:

    - name: Gather Current DB Settings - Database Name

      shell: grep -v "|" /tmp/directory{{ date }}/{{ item }}/application/config/production/database.php | grep "'database'" | awk '{print $3}' | sed "s/\

;//g" | sed "s/'//g"

      with_items:

        - "{{ products }}"

      register: db_name

    - name: Update DB Settings - Database Name

      replace:

        dest: /tmp/directory{{ date }}/{{ item.0 }}/application/config/production/database.php

        regexp: '{{ item.1 }}'

        replace: '{{ item.2 }}'

      with_together:

        - "{{ products }}"

        - db_name.results

        - "{{ database_name_update }}"

Error:

An exception occurred during task execution. The full traceback is:

Since its failing with "unexpected end of regular expression" it
impossible to say without the content of db_name variable.

Hi,


The last sed has an unescaped single quote.


You should replace this:

sed "s/'//g"

with this:

sed "s/"'"//g"


That's a single quote surrounded by double quotes. Backslash won't work.


You'll find some explanations here:

Cheers,

Marko
